This is why I say expecting The Xbox Ally to make Nintendo lose sleep was always a fools errand. You are not going to convince a parent to shell out 1000+ dollars for a handheld Windows 11 PC in a trenchcoat over a Switch 2.

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

Can I mention that Smash is the reason why Pac-Man reverted back to his classic look.

Daily Pac-Man @dailypacman.bsky.social · 5h

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS was being developed at the same time Pac-Man's Ghostly Adventures era was in full swing.

Despite this, Masahiro Sakurai went with Pac-Man's iconic look, and would've considered dropping the character altogether if he had to use the redesign.

I wasn't kidding when I said that Xbox is a lost cause.

In fact they're a laughing stock and parasite to the gaming industry.

Today was Gregg Mayles' last day at Rare. He posted this lovely little farewell over on social media. Since he's not on Bluesky, I hope he doesn't mind me sharing it here.

There's probably no video game designer, let alone creative mind, who has had as much of a positive impact on my life as Gregg.

A poem by Gregg Mayles, including a photo of him looking out at the countryside with Googly Eyes.

A Rather Resplendent Rewarding Rare Ramble

Grant me moments of your time,
To tell a story versed in rhyme,

In eighty nine this tale does start,
When famous wall did fall apart.

Still standing tall a lad left school,
Who'd employ this daydreaming fool?

A chance arose to go into banking,
Choice he ignored and forever thanking,

Local paper had tiny ad,
Go join Rare? WHAT! You must be mad!

He tested games then got into design,
Which somehow turned out reasonably fine,

Mentored by the Ultimate greats,
Expectations of Rare game traits,

Each game adding to his skills,
A memorable ride of many thrills,

First three toads and then some apes,
Donkey, Diddy, barrels of japes,

Grand adventures of bird and bear,
Whacking Ghoulies with haunted chair,

Critters of paper in gardening charm,
Sporting parties waving leg and arm,

Sailing pirates through stormy weather.
Players creating stories together,

Others too, much less well known,
With Rare magic in them sown,

Wonderful games made by splendid teams,
Enchanting players have been their dreams,

The Ruby Ramble one final chapter.
Of lovingly crafted games and laughter,

For here is where this story ends,
Thirty six years it's been my friends,

For come the day October fourteen,
At Manor Park then no longer seen,

His sack of fun upon his back,
To set off down a different track,

Leaving behind some parting advice,
Have no fear, it's helpful and nice,

If captivating players is what you seek,
Keep on making Rare games unique!

Now time to start new tales to tell,
Farewell to Rare he waves, farewell!

Gregg

The PS5 and Xbox Series generation came and went feeling like it never even started.

I'm sorry but this is not only stupid and dumb, it is also unnecessary, you can still play the latest and greatest on a PS4 or Xbox One.

Just buy a Nintendo and a PC, you dont need anything else.

At this point I feel like a Nintendo Monopoly might actually be healthier for the video game industry, then letting these two idiots do whatever they want. Like even if Nintendo shit is expensive at least it's fucking good

Development requirements is so high for so-called AAA games that some have dev times of over seven years & budgets over 100mil & still turn out mid & then everyone just ends up playing Suika Game.

We don’t need new hardware. We need more creative software.
